Sketch for Don Lagerberg's retirement book

One of my instructors from CSUF, Don Lagerberg, just retired this past semester. I took all of his life drawing classes while at CSUF as well as his storyboarding class.It was in this class that he introduced me to a movie called Casablanca. We watched it so many times in class to study all the shots and staging that I thought I would never want to see it again. Now it remains one of my favorite movies. When doing a sketch for Don's retirement book I decided to parody the cafe where most of the movie takes place. If you are not familiar with the movie I've included a screen shot. If you have not seen this movie, go watch it.

Now on YouTube

I've finally got my act together and started posting videos on You Tube. The first one is my show reel for the Fantasmic! Barge Driver Training DVD. Watch it here.

Comic-Con update

Looks like we got our booth for the Comic-Con this summer. I'm going to have my hands full getting my new Sketchbook ready in time. Our booth number is 4714. I'll post more information about my new Sketchbook in the next few weeks.

The Website for JumpStart World has been updated. Now you can buy a copy of the game from the website store or download a Trial version of the game. The Game should start showing up on store shelves in May.

Comic-Con update

Right now it looks like I won't be at the Comic-Con this year. We signed up a year in advance for a booth, yet we were not able to get one. I guess the Comic-Con is getting too big for the little guys like us to get in. I'm still working on my sketchbook and I hope to have it printed early next year if I'm unable to get into the Comic-Con this summer. I'm looking into getting a booth at the Wizard Con in Los Angeles next year as well.

JumpStart World animations

Some animations from JumpStart World have been posted on YouTube.com. I didn't do any of the animations but I did do some work on the environment. The game should come out in May 2007.
